Harry still couldn't fully process what he saw. Narcissa had left Malfoy in muggle London without even an explanation! And that spell! He hasn't been able to find what spell that is. He didn't know what that spell did or know why Malfoy didn't just apparate back home.
Eventually he decided to go to the muggle world himself. The ministry had made a fake ID as a detective for him to have access to certain things. In this case, surveillance videos from the street Harry had seen in the memory from six months ago.
He viewed all the tapes from January to June and nothing! No sign of either Malfoy there. Harry rewatched the tapes several times to make sure he hadn't just missed them. The memory Narcissa gave him didn't give him any time or date so he had to find that himself.
He's seen people drunk. Some getting mugged. Kids playing in the snow. Elderly walking. Some start fires in barrels to kick out the cold.
He's seen spring come around. Seen the snow go mushy. People with allergies. People dancing weird. He's seen spring cleaning yard sales.
He's seen summer arrive. He's noticed the change in attire. Seen the same neighbors walk in and out their homes but nothing new. No Malfoy. No Narcissa. No nothing.
Harry had taken six whole days of fast forwarding security tapes when it hit him. These tapes are only from JANUARY to July! Pansy has filed the missing paper report on January 20th but when she spoke to Harry she told him Malfoy hadn't contacted her since the last week of DECEMBER.
He would kick himself if he could. He just lost so many hours of sleep for nothing.
For now he fell asleep and then woke up the next day to go back to the police station and asked for the surveillance videos of the last two weeks of December while returning the other tapes.
"Here you go Mr.Potter, hope you find whatever you're looking for" said the records keeper while leaning forward more than necessary and giving him a shy smile. The ministry had Harry's actual name for his fake badge since the name 'Potter' didn't mean anything in the muggle world. Not that Harry minded. He smiled kindly while taking in the girl's beauty. "Thank you, you too" he smiled at her —she gave him a confused look— and left almost tripping over a chair.
"Um. Wait!" She called after him. "Yes?" Harry turned around. "D-do you like movies Mr.Potter?" She asked shyly while biting her lower lip with a faint blush on her face. Harry, however, didn't notice her nervousness. "Honestly, I'm sick of them after these surveillance videos. Don't think I'll ever see one again. Well, have a nice day" he said while walking out not looking back at the girl.
Once out the building and 15 minutes inside a cab did he realized what he said and facepalmed. The poor girl was trying to ask him out! You would think he'd be better at hitting on girls.
He sighed and went on his way.
Once home he started watching the surveillance videos. It took a while but he eventually found the day and time. Narcissa had taken Malfoy into the muggle world. It was on December 31st at 10:30pm. Really close to New Years.
Harry noticed that Malfoy didn't come to until a bit over an hour after the spell. And when he did, he looked disoriented and in slight pain. So far everything looked okay to Harry, Malfoy could have easily returned home.
However, Harry didn't expect Malfoy to walk into the street only to get hit by a car, crashing into the windshield. Harry's blood ran cold. The image was blurry but he could make out the red starting to color Malfoy's blonde hair.
The driver soon left the car to check on the blonde. An ambulance was called and Malfoy, the driver, and the backseat passenger —a child— left with them. The recording kept paying after the ambulance's departure a crane came for the car and soon only the curious bystanders were left in the streets before the recording ended.
Malfoy was hit by a car.
The raven haired just stayed still, eyes wide. Eventually he composed himself and decided he'll call all the hospitals nearby the scene to find Malfoy. For all he knew he could be dead.
